Texarkana, AR - The Texarkana Arkansas School District wrapped up election night this evening with a win for the district with the School Tax issue that will ensure a new school in the district. Supporters of the measure had stressed that the School Tax would not change with a win or a loss in the election; however, without the win there would be no funds toward the building of a new, needed school in the district. The unofficial counts showed 1,116 for the School Tax and 282 against the tax. Jesse Buchanan ran unopposed for the school board seat in Zone 3. There were two contested races, once for Zone 5 and one for Zone 6. Unofficial totals have Chrystal Marlar defeating Laney Harris by 246 to 184 for Zone 5. In Zone 6 the official totals has Roger Douglas defeating Lissa Henry by 109 to 57.

Texarkana, AR- In 2018, the world will recognize the 100th anniversary of the year that the first great worldwide conflict ended. It was called the "Great War", "The War to end all Wars," and eventually "The First World War," or "World War I". The war would originate in Europe and drag almost all nations into it. It would see the first major use of air power to gain an upper hand on scouting enemy troops and eventually the first air-to-air combat casualties would begin to pile up. It would be the last war to see any major use of cavalry troops and the first to see iron vehicles rolling to kill both troops and civilians. Trench warfare, only introduced in previous wars when armies were severely outnumbered, would become a normal day on the front. Gas would be used to kill troops, and the bertha gun, a fully automatic machine gun, would introduce the world to the ability to kill like never before. Despite all the stories, sometimes lost with the history of the second war, the surprising fact is that in 2018, it will be one hundred years since the guns went silent. The Arkansas WWI Centennial intends to ensure that the year is marked and remembered for generations to come. This Friday at 10:00 a.m. the Arkansas WWI Centennial will provide a memorial tree to Miller County, Arkansas. Working with the Arkansas Department of Heritage and the Arkansas Forestry Commission the Centennial tree will mark one hundred years since the end of World War I. According to Mary Beck with Texarkana, Arkansas the tree is a two-year-old Willow Oak. The trees have been offered to all counties in Arkansas on a first come, first serve basis.
